Platform Features Release: Annotation Enhancements, Condor Trade Set Up
Announcing the latest Release of Annotation improvements and Strategy template adjustment. We’ve also made several practical changes for better access to features/functions.
Independent Default Settings for Annotations
When adding Annotations such as lines, rays, arrows, etc, to the chart, the settings for that type of annotation can be set as a “Default”. Line settings are independent of other annotations’ settings.
Add the Annotation.
Click on the annotation to display the Dialog box (shown).
Make any adjustments.
Click “Save as Default”
The newly added and future annotations of the same type will have the new settings.
Click “Reset” to revert to original settings.
Fibonacci Too!
The Fibonacci Annotation has been enhanced to allow you to select which Retracement Levels you want to view in addition to adjusting the color for each as well as transparency overall.
The settings can be set as the Default for new chart entries.
**Please note: Existing Fibonacci annotations cannot be edited with this new coding. They must be deleted, then added back.
Condor Strategy Template Adjustment
The core functionality of Condor Strategy Templates has been adjusted. (Iron/Long/Short)
The center strikes are now anchored by default and will only change if you adjust them manually on the template itself or by using the “Widen Strike” icon —making trade construction more intuitive and consistent.
Widening/Narrowing of the center Strikes will change the spread of the Condor, which can be done manually on the template or by using the “Widen” or “Narrow Spread” icon.
Other Additions

Trend Lines, Notes & Shapes and Advanced Annotations
Customize your charts with Trend Lines, Notes and Advanced Annotations.
These tool icons are available above the chart, just below the Indicators drop-down box.
Each Annotation can have a Default Setting. This means all initially created lines, for example, will have the same settings, such as color and thickness.
Select your Annotation.
Draw it on the chart.
Click to display the dialog setting.
Adjust settings, then click “Save as Default.”
“Reset” will revert to initial settings.
You can still customize individual lines by saving the settings instead of saving as Default.
Fibonacci Too!
The Fibonacci Annotation has been enhanced to allow you to select which Retracement Levels you want to view, in addition to adjusting the color for each and the overall transparency.
The settings can be set as the Default for new chart entries or customize each entry, then “Save”
**Please note: Existing Fibonacci annotations cannot be edited with this new coding. They must be deleted, then added back.
Clicking on any Trend Line, Note, or Advanced Annotation, will display the “Annotation Settings” box for that entry.
The Annotation Settings box can be repositioned elsewhere on the platform, if needed.
Line Color, Line Width and if applicable, Background Color and Transparency can be changed.
Be sure to click ‘Save’!
Note: Parallel channels are initially drawn horizontally. To change orientation click on the annotation then grab one of the ‘edit dots’ to drag to the position you wish.
Then click “Save” on the dialog box.
